Google+ Real Florida Wedding: Aimee + Brad, Part I - Southern Weddings

Southern Weddings

Oh. My. Wedding heaven!  If there ever were a spring wedding to end all spring weddings, Aimee + Brad’s Florida celebration – held at the popular Village Green at Carillon Beach and photographed by Vue Photography – would be it.   Airy blue frocks from Bari Jay (loves his b’maids gowns in general and these high-necked beauties in particular), paisley neckties and heaps and heaps of soft florals from Noveau Flowers – lovely, lovely!  Emily thinks the bride looks like an angel in her flowy Matthew Christopher gown, what with the feather accents down the back and all.  If nothing else, Aimee + her hubby sure do look happy to be newlyweds!  And yes… there’s more!

How did the two of you meet?  Brad and my brother, Matthew, are firefighters together for Coweta County.  Brad asked Matthew for my number, which my brother surprisingly gave him quite freely.  (I have a very over-protecting brother!)  Brad called me, and here we are!  After our first date, I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him!
Describe the proposal.   Brad and I were sitting on the beach at Saint Andrew’s on June 2nd, 2009.  Brad looked at me and, out of nowhere, said, “Lets get married!”  I said, “Of course!”  Brad told me to pick a date right then and there.  So here we are… happy as we can be!
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Magical, whimsical and breathtaking.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was:  Brad’s favorite detail was when he saw me for the first time standing in the walk-over before I came to see him!  My favorite detail was when I was standing in the back of the church waiting to walk down the isle and taking in every moment that was about to happen on my perfect wedding day.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress:  We found the sample dress of my dream gown three before our wedding and I was dying to try it on!  I had to get a second opinion, so called my grandparents.  My Pop got teary eyed when I came out of the dressing room, and I knew for sure it was the one.  The best part was that I was able to keep the dress a secret until the wedding.
Describe your wedding flowers:  My bouquet was brimming with white jonquils, snowberries, white lilac, stars of bethlehem, vernocia, circuma, scabiosa and chammomile wrapped in ivory ribbon.  I used my grandmother’s broach to hold the wrap together.  My mom, Brad’s Mom and my Nana carried sterling silver tussie mussies, which were engraved as a gift from us.  For our centerpieces, I used blue mason jars I had been collecting since Brad and I got engaged.

    Gorgeous bouquet! What a beautiful combination of flowers. And the broach is such a nice accent that fits perfectly with the colors of the wedding. That + etherial bridesmaids dresses + this astonishing wedding gown add to the magical and breathtaking feel. Great job, Aimee and Brad and congratulations!

    Really neat picture with the delayed shutter where the bridesmaids are moving around the still bride. Very creative! Awesome!
